A development of Syed’s recent work which explores ambivalent attitudes towards
capitalism, this work is a neon sign in ‘gold’ which reads “For Sale” in English,
repeated four times and mimicking the square kufic script style of Arabic script seen

Islamic world, specifically the Middle East and Pakistan.
